What I’m Wearing: New Years Eve + 2017 Goals

While a bulk of the internet has decided that 2016 was the worst year ever, I have to say I disagree.
​It wasn't perfect, but this year I experienced so much personal and professional growth that I just can't help but to look back on the past 364 days cheerfully.

Just to hit a few '16 highlights: I started my blog, my baby girl was born, we set a date for (and started planning) our wedding, and we signed a contract to start building our new house. Overall, 2016 was awesome, but I'm so looking forward to all the possibilities that 2017 holds. I always love the new year because of the feeling of getting a fresh start. It's like putting fresh sheets on the bed...just the best.

2017 GOALS

1. WORKIN ON MY FITNESS

Yeah...I need to get a lot more consistent. My goal is to focus on being strong and healthy so that I can feel my best. Yes, I have a spring wedding to get in shape for too, so that should give me a little inspo.

2.EATING BETTER

Drink more water, eat green food, the whole yada yada. But really, I'm going to eat at least one raw meal a day and buy myself this cute water bottle to motivate my H2O consumption.

3. GIRLBOSS STUFF

One of the most rewarding parts of being my own boss is being 100% in charge of my own success. Is it sometimes super stressful and hard? Um, yes. But, is it totally worth it? Hell yeah! I have a whole list of goals I need to crush, but overall the main themes are to network with other girlbosses and entrepreneurs so that we can support each other, grow my blog, and invest more into growing my photography career.

WHAT I'M WEARING: NEW YEARS EVE

My NYE look this year has all the necessary sparkle with some fun pops of color. I decided to break out of my color comfort zone and go with orange as my accent color. New year, time to try new things, right? Since I'm spending NYE in San Antonio, I can get away with a tank and summery wedges. I'm in love with this mock turtleneck crop top. It is so comfy and light, with super soft baby ribbed cotton. These sparkle leggings are just so much fun! (And oh so stretchy). Where can you get these pieces for yourself you ask? It's all from H&M.

Yes, I am a little bit obsessed with H&M. Between the wide range of options from biz casual to fashion forward, the super reasonable prices, and their sustainable fashion initiative (H&M Conscious), what's not to love? No joke, I put together this entire outfit for just under $63. Some of the highlights: this top (which also comes in 4 colors) is only $9.99, and these earrings & necklace were $3 each. Steal.

Most all of these items are part of the after-Christmas sale, so while only some of them are currently available online, you can still pop into H&M and grab this whole outfit for yourself. If you'd like to shop online from the couch instead, I've linked the available pieces from the outfit as well as some similar items from other retailers below.
